Ep. 346: How to Talk About a Global Crisis & Other Mailbag Questions with Todd Pinkerton and Lissie Ratcliff

Todd Pinkerton, Campaign Director for Unions NSW, and Lissie Ratcliff, Managing Partner at FMRS Advisory and fmr Chief of Staff to Premier Daniel Andrews, are back this month to answer your burning mailbag questions.

This episode of Socially Democratic discusses:

📺Prime Minister Albanese’s National Address. What did he do right, and how could he have used that time to bring the nation together in a time of crisis?

⛽Despite the ceasefire, the war in Iran and the resulting fuel crisis aren’t going away any time soon. How are states responding to ease the shock for their constituents? And how can the federal government improve their communication with the public?

⚓The Royal Australian Navy in the Strait of Hormuz? What is Opposition Leader Angus Taylor on about? Plus, how our relationship with the United States and the global order is changing - and why it’s so important that we steer our own ship (pun intended).

⏰Now is the Time! Lissie, Todd, and Stephen discuss why the field is now wide open for the ALP to get serious about tax reform.

This and more listener questions. Listen in to hear them all.
